* An ongoing debate between Michiel van der Vlist and Ben Ritchey rages on ...

 MV> 1) A mailer that supports IPv6. Binkd >= v1.0 will do.

 MV> 2) Establish the IPv6 address of the machine that runs this mailer.
 MV>    Assuming you run Windows.

 MV>    Type "IPCONFIG" at the command prompt.
 MV>    Find the so called SLAAC address of the interface. This is the one
 MV>    with the lower 64 bits derived from the MAC address.

 MV> 3) Go to the web site of your DNS provider and ass an AAAA record for
 MV> that address/

 MV> 4) Open port 25554 for IPv6 in your router's firewall/

 MV> 5) Do the same in the Windows firewall of your Fido machine.

Great, thanks. The AAAA rec might be a problem, but the rest seems doable. :)
